Ive been here several times with friends and family and have enjoyed the food. The final and last time I went we discovered a long strand of a metal scouring pad in my daughters taco. Inside a wad of meat, in the beef taco. Our waiter had already taken forever to get our drink order and then still messed up our meal order even though he said it correctly. He assumed I wanted chicken even though I said beef chimichangas twice over. So after discovering the metal strand it took the longest time for anyone to come near our table and to get someones attention. He was confused when we pointed out what we found and had it on the table for him to see. He calls another waitress over and she brushes it off as it accidentally got in it and proceeds to bring us another. What restaurant mixes raw beef in or around a sink? Thats the only way a piece of scouring pad could get into the meat and be cooked in a wad. I know it wasnt intentional but that is just ridiculous and harmful. We warned friends and none of us will be back to eat here. I suggest you make the trek downtown to eat Mexican.

In my quest to find the best mexican restaurant in Savannah I ran across La Nopalera. I have to admit the environment is nice but the food is the opposite. Although it is not food that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but I truely believe that it is way overrated. The worst thing about that restaurant is the waiters. They came to my table only once the whole time I was there and that is to pick up my plates. I was so mad that I just asked for the check. The total was 38.42 and I told the waiter to charge 40.00 so she could get the message of how terrible the service was. They took so long with the credit card that I stood up and went to get it myself. The two waiters on duty were making fun of my tip and were talking about a good tipper that was also eating. I asked her for my card and rushed out of there. I will never go to that place again, not even if they were treating me for a meal!!!

I mean, its edible food. The chips were at least warmed, still a little too hard, but not salted and the salt poured out CRAZY fast but somehow still didnt stick to many of the chips. The salsa is a little spicier than your average mexican place but pretty tasty. Service was a little slow at first but turned out fine and friendly. Tacos werent very flavorful but like I said, edible. Not really bad per se, but definitely not great. Im only visiting but I tried Cancun down the road the night before and liked the tacos better even though the chips were thicker and hard and the salsa sucked. I guess if I stay longer and have any more taco cravings, I may try another place around the area.

Ate here today and was less than impressed. Ive been satisfied many times before but with todays service and the price increase on the menu, I dont think I will be returning. They are pretty quick to seat you, take order and bring food. I had to wait till I was finished with my entire meal - Texacano ($9) and Nachos with beef ($6.5) till someone came by and filled my water then a little longer to get my bill. The prices have all seem to increased by about $1 to $2 which isnt bad in my eyes until you add in all the employees that are running around talking to one another and not paying attention to the customers. Salsa is good; food is okay; service compared with price is poor.

Went here because couldnt get into jalapenos. Pretty dark, dingey and dated. Ordered a 20oz margarita. Tasted very watered down, like it was at warm room temperature poured over lots of ice. Sat sat sat at least 15 minutes and the waiter finally brought out chips and salsa. Had one, salsa pretty good when they brought my dinner out literally 10 seconds after the chips. I ordered carnitas tips. The meat was quite delicious, served with typical rice and beans, warm tortillas and OK little salad. Plenty to eat. So/2 stars because the food pretty good but service and drink were zeros.

The restaurant not busy and my waiter took his time to get my drink and order. After getting my meal he only came to my table once after I got my meal to see if everything was good. The only time after that was to give my bill, but that was the only time he wanted to see if I wanted a drink to go. I base my tips on the service I am given. I am only one at my table, but he would of gotten a bigger tip only if he came to my table more than the one time. I will not go back to eat there again.

Lugar agradable, buena atención, comida exquisita, porciones considerables, precios aceptables, pero necesitan tener mas cuidado con la higiene y limpieza del salón. Por ejemplo, las lámparas y cadenas están llenas de polvo.

Terrible service and it wasnt even busy. Took about 45 minutes to receive my drink. But I did get my food very quickly considering my friends waiting 30 minutes for theirs. Ordered guacamole and salsa that I had to ask for like 4 times and my food was of course cold. I think since the new manger came in things have gone down. I will definitely be going somewhere new.

Good food sometimes the staff seems to be above theyre place? If you are made to feel low while placing an order, they need to check their selves? Only the male servers are the ones I feel not as comfortable with????? I hope management will step up to the plate, well see but not expecting much from them what so ever???!!!

Very tired place - old and smelly inside. Waiter had to jerk the table out of the wall to make it sit level. Chips were fried in old oil, steak in the tacos like rubber. Service was ok. This place is just ripe for a Gordon Ramsey makeover.

My coworker and I ordered from there today. Food was horrible. Food was cold. The meat was not all the way cooked. My coworkers salad had no meat in it. Just a bunch of lettuce. We will not be ordering from there again.
